Smart playlists

You can find smart playlists in the Main section under Compiled based on your preferences. They are compiled using machine learning: Yandex Music determines what music and podcasts you like to listen to, what movies and shows you watch, and uses this information to compile playlists for you. These playlists are unique for each user.

Smart playlists are updated automatically. When a playlist is updated, the icon appears next to its name.

To start getting personalized smart playlists, log in and start listening to music.

Setting up smart playlists

Playlists change according to your preferences. To make the algorithms more accurate in selecting tracks for your smart playlists, follow our tips:

Listen to music and podcasts and add what you like to your music library

The contents of smart playlists depend on the tracks and podcasts you listened to or marked with the icon. The more music and podcasts you listen to, the more accurate your recommendations are.

Block tracks, artists, and podcasts that you don't like

If you don't want a track to appear in your smart playlists, click the icon in the track row or on the player panel when listening to it.

To prevent the system from recommending an artist to you, go to that artist's page and click . You can easily reverse this ban: find the necessary track or artist and click the block button again.

Specify your favorite genres and artists

1. Click on your account portrait in the upper-right corner of the page and select Settings.
2. On the Account tab, go to the Music preferences section and tap the Refine button.
3. Select your favorite genres. If you no longer like a genre you previously added to your favorites, tap on the genre icon.
4. Tap the Next button.
5. Select your favorite artists. Popular artists and your favorites from the genres you selected are displayed on the page. To remove an artist from your recommendations, tap the icon.
